Hi all, my 2014 prado 1KD-FTE with 260,000kms on it had an oil leak develop a month back. Mechanic helped me diagnose and provided a $6.5k quote to fix.

Does this sound about right?

$2,200 - Labour
$328 - Timing case outer
$478 - time case inner
$1951 - Common rail pump
$152 - Bolts o'rings, studs & nuts
$307 - Pump drive gear
$113 - Pump drive gear bearing
$100 - seals
$140 - coolant
$119 - engine oil
$20 - oil filter
plus another 10% on top for GST.

Is there anything else I should consider doing while this is being done? Thanks for any advice you can offer.

I question why they want to replace the inner and outer timing cases, pump drive gear and bearing.
While I personally have not rebuilt a 1KD-FTE pump however I have yet to see a engine that requires those components replaced for an oil leak.

I would be looking for an diesel injection specialist to do the work, pump price is excessive to in my opinion.

Get a second opinion and if still the same diagnosis then go the whole hog & just get a new motor which will not be much more than your first quote
